Holiday and New Year Health-e-Cards

Season's Greetings Happy Holidays Happy New Year

CDC recently released several holiday cards, including a Happy New Year card. The blue Happy Holidays card was inspired by the Office of Women's Health's holiday song, The 12 Ways to Health. This holiday e-Card provides tips to holiday health and safety and links to the song, sung to the tune of The Twelve Days to Christmas. The lyrics to the song are also available, so you can sing along!

The other winter holiday cards provide links to new 2008 Healthy Living Calendars, also produced from the Office of Women's Health. Visit our Health-e-Card site to send one of these CDC e-Cards to your friends, family, and colleagues today.

If you'd like to inspire your friends and family to keep specific resolutions, you can send a Health-e-Card to encourage smoke-free living, weight management, fitness and more! Visit our Health-e-Card site to send a greeting to help loved ones keep their resolutions!

In the near future, you'll find Health-e-Cards for STD awareness, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. Many of the new e-Cards will be available in English and in Spanish.

Information about Health-e-Cards

To send a CDC Health-e-Card, you must provide both your name and email address and the recipient's name and email address. Please note that after the card is sent electronically, the names and email addresses are discarded.

CDC does not disclose, give, sell, or transfer any information about CDC Web site visitors unless required for law enforcement or otherwise required by law. Please see the CDC Privacy Policy for more information.

When a Web visitor sends a CDC Health-e-Card, the greeting is electronically created and a link is emailed to the recipient. This link will always begin with the Web address http://www2a.cdc.gov/. There is no file attachment, so the email message is small. CDC does not ask for or collect personally identifiable information except for names and email addresses which are discarded when the e-Card is sent. There is no cost to send Health-e-Cards, and you may send as many cards as you'd like.
